How to re-enter university yourself without losing years of study

Admission to a university is easy for few people, so many students value their status and try to avoid thoughts of expulsion. No matter how scary this word may sound, you need to understand that anything can happen. The main thing is to know that you can always return to university.

Reinstatement of a student at a university after expulsion

Reinstatement at the university to continue mastering the educational program

Training may be interrupted for good or bad reasons.

A student’s refusal to receive an education, his transfer to another educational institution, his state of health and family circumstances are considered valid It is important that if a student studied on a budget, then if there are vacant budget places at the university, he will be able to continue his studies while maintaining the same conditions. But in their absence, he will have to be restored to a paid place.

What are they deducted for?

We hasten to please you: not a single secondary educational institution or university will expel a student just like that. Firstly, expulsion spoils the prestige and statistics of an educational institution, reducing its rating and relevance. Secondly, if a student entered commerce, then upon expulsion, educational. Therefore, in most cases, students are given time to “correct.”

Why can students be expelled from an educational institution?

Expulsion from an educational institution is made on three grounds:

• The student’s own desire: when transferring from one university to another, if they do not want to study, due to family circumstances, due to financial difficulties, etc.
• For good reason: any reason of this nature must be documented. These include the presence of a serious illness and the need for surgical treatment (illness, both in the student himself and in his close relative), family circumstances (illness or death of a close relative, the birth of a child), conscription into the army, etc.;
• For an unexcused reason: this basis includes those events that led to expulsion that arose solely through the fault of the student. For example, poor academic performance (the student did not pass more than 70-80% of tests and exams), non-compliance with the internal regulations of the university, absence from academic leave, etc.

In any case, the decision on expulsion is made by the dean’s office and the rector’s office only after a conversation with the student and finding out the reasons: what led to this situation, how the student himself evaluates and perceives it, whether he is ready for “rehabilitation” and whether he should be given this chance “here” and now”, etc.

If a student experiences the following first signs of “study malaise,” which may eventually lead to expulsion, then he should urgently think about his situation and look for a way out of it:

• Low performance in subjects (regardless of the number of disciplines. Failure to perform even in one subject can lead to expulsion);
• The presence of absenteeism, absences from classes for unexcused reasons, unworked absences (in most cases, for expulsion it is enough to miss half of the classes provided for by the curriculum);
• Mandatory written projects not submitted on time, without which it is impossible to obtain admission to the session. This type includes coursework, practice reports, etc.
• Tensions with teachers and classmates due to non-compliance with the rules of order at the university, etc.

If you encounter at least one of the above factors, then you urgently need to sit down and think about the situation, outline a “rehabilitation plan” for yourself that will improve the situation and avoid problems in the future. Then all that remains is to act in accordance with the “developed mission”.

List of documents for reinstatement at the university

To be reinstated after expulsion, a student must provide a set of documents:

1. A written statement addressed to the rector stating the reason for expulsion, the number and date of the order:

Application for reinstatement to a university - sample from the Russian State University for the Humanities

1. Original certificate of secondary education (if he took it from the university after expulsion);
2. Photocopy (original) of passport .

Different universities may have different requirements for the list of required documents. For example, at Moscow State University you will need an academic record book if the student still has it:

Section “Students” on the website of the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University

You should look for the list on the university website - most often in the “Students” and “Information” sections or on the website of the study program itself.

Reinstatement for distance learning

If a student becomes aware that he is expected to be expelled, he has the opportunity to continue his studies. To do this, it is enough to switch to a correspondence course, if the previous one was full-time. This provides the following benefits:

• no need to wait for recovery and leave the university;
• there is no need to take exams again;
• there is an opportunity to study in the same specialty if the university provides a correspondence course for it;
• the cost is much lower when it comes to paid education.

It is not necessary to re-enter your educational institution. The student is given a certificate of incomplete higher education indicating the disciplines completed. Based on it, you can apply to another university and even to another specialty. In this case, you will have to take those disciplines that were not previously completed or for which there are much fewer training hours. At the new location, it is possible to enroll in a junior course.

Terms of reinstatement at the university after expulsion

Universities differ not only in the lists of documents, but also in the recovery periods. They depend on the internal rules of reinstatement at the university after expulsion, the schedule and division of the academic year into periods. The dates of sessions and final certification or the start date of the study period may differ - in some places the year is divided into semesters, in others into modules. At Moscow State University, for example, applications are accepted from June 20 to July 10.

The general rule for all universities is that students can be reinstated within 5 years from the date of expulsion.

In general, after exclusion due to academic failure, the student is enrolled at the beginning of the module or semester at the beginning of which the “failed” subject begins. If there is no need to re-study the course, then the student can recover and close the debt during the test and examination session.

At MGIMO, for example, the summer session lasts from May 15 to June 30, and the winter session from December 15 to January 25. With failure to pass the State Examination, the situation is similar - the student is reinstated during the certification period itself.

And at HSE, the recovery periods are as follows:

How to recover after a sabbatical leave

Academic leave involves release from the educational process for a certain period of time.

In order to continue studying after a leave of absence, the following series of actions must be taken:

1. Contact the dean's office of the educational institution with an application for reinstatement.
2. Find out about existing debts (close them if necessary).
3. Familiarize yourself with the curriculum. If the programs change, the educational office draws up a working individual program for you, according to which you will pass the existing difference in the programs.

Submit your leave application in advance. If you do not submit an application, the educational institution has every right to expel you as a student who has not completed an academic leave.

During the academic leave, students retain their place, including the type of educational service (paid or budget basis).

Recovery Features

In most cases, the administration of the educational institution accommodates those students who have realized the mistake and are ready to continue their studies again. If a citizen has more than 80% of debts, he may be offered training 1 year lower. The man, having recovered, will have a deferment from the army for the entire duration of his training. In order to resume the educational process, it is worth bringing a complete package of documents.

It includes:

• passport
• certificate
• photo
• academic reference
• medical certificate (if necessary)
• marriage certificate (if changing surname)

After the order for reinstatement is issued, the student can begin the educational process.

Higher education is an important step in the development of every person. Receiving it is a necessary condition for decent work.

Even if you are expelled, you can always be reinstated by complying with the requirements of the university.

Expulsion for no valid reason

Even in cases where the application for termination is written voluntarily and does not contain a reason, the dismissal will be classified as without good reason.

The reason for expulsion may be the student’s laziness and negligence, leading to academic failure:

• the presence of 3 or more debts, the results of assessment of coursework, practice, differentiated tests are taken into account;
• negative grades received during the period allocated for eliminating academic debt;
• regular failure to attend classes (absences exceed 50%) without good reason for 1 month;
• failure to start attending classes on time after termination of academic leave;
• regular disregard by the student of internal labor regulations;
• offenses leading to administrative or criminal punishment;
• failure to fulfill contractual terms if training was carried out under a contract.
